While on Christmas vacation, Ashley tells her boyfriend Sam that she hopes to tie the knot and start a family, a thought that terrifies Sam. When the attractive and seemingly omnipresent Nolan shows up and alludes to potentially violent ties to Sam’s past, Sam’s world begins to close in around him in terrifying ways.
Both horrifying and hilarious, It Cuts Deep plays upon the fears of both parenthood and manhood in equal measure, and flips the tables on the classic good guy vs bad guy trope.
